Years ago, the tiny town of Maple’s Landing was an amazing sight. Bustling with activity, it seemed as though the land had received the Harvest Queen’s blessed touch; and it had.

Blissful life took a turn for the worse over a decade ago, when a great Calamity touched the land. Horrified by the events, the people rebuffed their Queen. Saddened by her people's snubbing, she put herself into a deep sleep and the land withered. Now, the town is tasked with saving their homeland before it's too late.

Join the townspeople in their arduous task and enjoy life in the meantime, form bonds, find love and live!

• FESTIVALS & EVENTS •

AUT. 5 [2/9] | Moonviewing Festival
The one night of the year where the moon is at its most gorgeous and full! Grab a friend (or lover) and enjoy some stargazing.

AUT. 13 [2/25] | Harvest Festival
Let's get ready to... SAUTE! This year's Harvest Festival is a celebration of all things delicious! Make sure you wear sweatpants because we're stuffing ourselves full... then we'll stuff our faces again with the annual Harvest King lottery!

• WEATHER OVERVIEW •

The heatwave continues -- but don't worry, the end is in sight! Sure, it might be pretty hot for a while, but give it a week and the late summer monsoons will finally arrive! Expect wet and wild weather for a few days before it clears right up -- just in time for the Harvest Festival!

Today we will be shutting doors on Maple's Landing, for good. It's been a fun and rewarding 6 years, but all things run their course and Maple's Landing has run it's course, as well. Unfortunately, real life has caught up to me, and I will no longer be able to run the site as the members need or deserve. If I can't offer you the best, I would rather take it off the table altogether. This has been for me the most rewarding experience, six years of creativity, friendship and writing that I wouldn't change for the world. Thank you so much for being along for it. Your ideas, enthusiasm and participation are what made the Landing truly special and magical.

To the members who joined during these last few twilight weeks of Maple's Landing: I am so sorry. I wish I could've given you the golden days experience that some of us have experienced, and I hope you can forgive me for this and find a place to stretch your creativity in the meantime.

If you would like any of your threads, profiles, or anything else from the board, please don't hesitate to email the site directly: maples.landing (@) gmail.com, or contact me directly through Skype if you have my contact info.

I love you all and thank you so much for coming to play with us from 2011-2018!
